Mr.Jamshid(Afghanistan) replied:

Thank you Mr. Jim for valuable information. Of course, I am applying for single entry visa and perhaps there will be need for at least 4 working days for the visa process. You said the fee for single entry is US0. Is it free or miss spelling. Cause last time when I applied for single entry visa, it cost me US 50.

Thank you.

Mr.Habibullah(Afghanistan) said:

Hello Sir,
Hope you are doing well I am Habibullah from Kabul I beg to say that I am a student and i am interested to learn Chinese language but in whole Kabul i could not find any institute which can teach Chinese therefore what is your opinion about this problem, From my Opinion China Government should open any institute in Kabul where people of Afghanistan can learn the Chinese language and their Culture and it should be good for China Government and to Afghan people.
The Big problem is this that here in Kabul we don't have any one who can teach Chinese and we cant go to China to study.

Hope to hear from you soon
